The principle is that pdfscreen.sty and the associated files should be
available to TeX when it processes your document that has a line
\usepackage[options]{pdfscreen} in the preamble.  I don't think, this
differs between TeX distributions, the only difference could be in the
matter of how to set TEXINPUTS environment variable that might be
dependent on a particular distribution or operating system.

What we do in GNU/Linux is to create a directory viz., pdfscreen in
the TeX tree (usually it is /usr/share/texmf or /usr/local/texmf)
below the latex, which would be something like:

  /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pdfscreen

Copy all the files to this directory.  Run texhash (or equivalent
command to update the file database).  That's all you need to do and
pdfscreen is available system-wide for all users. I guess, this should
exactly be the way for cygwin too.

Best.
